Q: Can boosters contact
prospects to encourage them to attend Yale?A: No. Any such contact could result in the prospect being
declared ineligible to participate in Yale athletics.

Q: Is it permissible for a booster to earmark funds for
a specific prospect to attend a camp at Yale?No. However, boosters may donate funds to the high school,
and the school and the students will decide which camps they
attend.

Q: May a booster treat an individual student-athlete or
an entire team to a meal?
A: Yes. A booster may provide a meal to an individual
student-athlete, a group of student-athletes, or an entire team.

on-campus facility that is regularly used for competition.
The meal may be catered. It is not permissible to provide a meal at
any other locations.

Q: May a booster ask a student-athlete or entire team to
endorse a commercial product?
A: No. A student-athlete may not be involved in the advertisement,
recommendation, or promotion of commercial products and/or services
because of the potential effect on his/her amateur status. However,
there are certain instances when student-athletes may be involved
with charitable, educational, and non-profit promotional
activities. Please contact the Yale Compliance Office prior to
soliciting student-athlete involvement in these activities.

A: All violations carry penalties. Student-Athletes may lose
eligibility, be prohibited from competition, or be required to pay
financial restitution. Coaches and staff may be reprimanded and
prohibited from recruiting activities. Boosters may be subject to a
loss of benefits and privileges, including the revocation of season
tickets and, in severe cases, disassociation from the
institution.
